Wes Foster agrees with Lee but points out that writing a 1600 word post every week is not a probable outcome for most people. Foster posits: “the most important factor of any blog post is to effectively balance reader time, value provided, and search engine context” (at the end of the webpage). https://www.wesfed.com/blog/ideal-blog-post-length-seo/Links to an external site.
